Wenger Introduces New StageTek Staging and Video Contest

	Wenger's new StageTek staging

Wenger Corporation's introduces StageTek staging with improved handling, flexibility, and strength.

The company says handling is improved with fast, intuitive, and instruction-free setup that maximizes labor efficiency. StageTek staging assembles quickly without tools, folding frames, or other cumbersome understructure. The innovative decks are 20 percent lighter than comparably sized Wenger Versalite decks and feature integrated hand grips that require 40 percent less grip strength to handle. Standard deck sizes include 3'x3', 3'x6', 3'x8', 4'x4', 4'x6', and 4'x8'; (or in metric: 0.9m x 0.9m, 0.9m x 1.8m, 0.9m x 2.4m, 1.2m x 1.2m, 1.2m x 1.8m, and 1.2m x 2.4m). Custom deck sizes are also available. Because StageTek legs store compactly inside the decks, the company notes the storage footprint is up to 50 percent less than conventional staging and carts.

Enhanced flexibility comes from StageTek staging's round plug-and-play legs -- both fixed-height and adjustable -- that reduce assembly time by 20 percent compared to Z-frame systems, according to the company. For creative options, StageTek staging provides unmatched versatility for all events, from complex multi-level stages for concerts to simple platforms for ceremonies and other activities. A variety of deck surface options are available.

Wenger says their engineering advances ensure that StageTek staging can safely support heavier loads while satisfying three critical load requirements -- uniform, point, and dynamic. The leg-and-deck design of StageTek staging provides 70 percent more open storage space underneath than with typical Z-frame systems. StageTek staging features field-repairable components and a 10-year warranty; patents are pending.

Wenger introduces a video contest: Wenger is looking for the most creative video illustrating "Here's what we would do on a Wenger StageTek stage." The winner will receive $10,000 worth of StageTek staging and accessories. Details can be found on Wenger's website or Facebook page; the entry deadline is March 29, 2013.
